Please which do you think is more profitable to plant between cucumber and tomato around August according to price trend. Provided the farmer can manage any of the two well.
Taking one plot with good irrigation for example.

[if you ask me which one I will choose at the moment, I say cucumber because attention is on tomato right now.] if you follow my advise then wink you will have being selling at pick now! If you are just planning to plant now smiley I will advise you plant little.

You and your like has derail everything, and agriculture section has turn to joke because seun and moderator allow it. Let me school you on how to market stuff like this; you will plant few stand (like hundred stand) update us every weeks with both picture and videos, what we need to grow it like nutrient, manure etc, spacing, disease resistance and the yield. It is then commercial farmers can buy it, nobody want to be use as try and error. I have seen production of this your seed and I can say "it doesn't Worth planting commercially."

Given the mad rush by many farmers into tomatoes, I envisage cucumber's profitability will be better than tomato's August, September and October.
Many farmers are currently tied down in tomatoes and will only be free to return to cucumber by the end of September to October.
Some are even waiting to plant cucumber after August break that is still elusive.
This year, high price of tomatoes may slightly alter the market dynamics of other crops because many farmers want to grab a bite of the tomato's premium price and is evident in the scarcity of premium tomato seeds. Sadly, late comers will be badly burnt.

That's my rationale behind cultivating cukes now although, I still have some tomatoes on ground. I must milk tomato dry this year grin grin
